Book Review: Fame, Fate and the First Kiss by Kasie West

Lacey Barnes has dreamt of being in a movie for as long as she can remember.

Book Review: Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

The Boyfriend Book Review is a recurring column here on What A Nerd Girl Says.  My boyfriend, Daniel (read his bio here), is a reader as well.
